As mentioned a page or 2 ago, last week I called TRU in Warwick and they sai they had 1 Hiss Tank and 1 Wolf Hound and they would hold them till I got there, but when I arrived they only had the Wolf Hound. They said the tank was 'broken', after what Myname said I think they sold it. Anyway, they apologize and say when the next shipment comes in they would hold 1 4 me and call 2 let me know "1st thing". Glad I didnt hold my breath. Stopped in this morning, no phone call from them but lo and behold, Wolf Hound and Hisstank in stock. 2 Wolf Hounds and 1 Hiss Tank. So I grabbed the Tank. Took a peak up front as I paid and nothing was held at the front desk. Last week they offered to either call me when it arrived "even if we only receive just the 1" or knock $$$ off the Hound. I obviously choose poorly But I got 1, so its cool. No POC figs (wasnt expecting any though) and 4 SW collectors nothing new there. All the pegs were full except the vintage and blue card which were all at least half empty. I didnt see anything they didnt have last week.

When were you there? Squibbles and I were there at 10. He grabbed the other Hiss. You didn't get the Wolf Hound either? All of the Joe stuff is going on sale on Sunday (Buy 1, get 1 50% off). If you bought both you could get a price adjustment starting Sunday. I bought mine on the 30th and they do adjustments up to 14 days. I'll be getting $13.37 back (including the tax). I was hoping they would have the 2 exclusive figures, but nope. Nothing new a Kmart in Cranston either.

Fast Draw always a pleasure to run into a fellow tanker. We were both hoping for the exclusives but no luck. When I left there were 2 wolf hounds and 1 hiss.
You know whats funny I have been hearing a lot of love for the wolf hound but I just cant bring myself to by another snow cat. Also the cockpit looks cramped for the newer style, I cant be sure I don't have one and hopefully don't regret it lol. Any one getting any love at the family Dollars lately?

Today the doors were open as I pulled in lol.
Oh, and as far as FD...I checked 1 in Fall River and 1 in Somerset when I was up there recently and they did not restock Joes. They did get Avatar figures. Last edited by Fast_Draw; 07-10-2010 at 01:00 AM.. |

I hear ya, I cant wait outside for them to open either. I dont want to race tio the aisle and be bumping shoulders with people, I hate that, lol. We must have just missed eachother cause I know I was there before 10:30, probably closer to 10:15-10-20 maybe. That sucks,would have liked to meet you guys.
I did buy a Wolf Hound last week, and the Tank yesterday. Do they have to be on the same receipt to do the buy 1/get 1 half off? If not on the same slip would I have to return them and re-buy them? I already opened them both :( Oh and Squibs. I love the Wolf Hound. Def. happy I grabbed 1. I wouldnt say I like it better than the Hiss Tank, but it looks awesome next to my other Snow Cat. I guess it depends on how many you have, I just have 1 Cat, but the marbelized look on the new 1 is crazy sweet. I dont put the fig in the cockpit, I usually display the drivers outside the vehicles so you can see them better, but I did throw him in for a second and while it is a little snug, the canopy closed and it didnt look funny. Maybe next time Ill get there a lil earlier and we'll see each other. |

I believe they do need to be on the same receipt, but you could always give it a shot. They were both bought within the 14 days and from the same store. It may be at their discretion, but they may tell you no because they're not on the same receipt.

Wow. The only GI Joe thing the newly reopened Target at the Warwick Mall had was the Night Raven (4 of them). They had all the new Transformers and some new Star Wars though (of course!). It appeared that they did their reset though because they had a space for the mechs (price tag on the shelf) and the other tags (figures for $6.99). They don't have any though and they only have 3 pegs dedicated to the singles. That's not good as they can probably only put out 12-14 figures and the cases contain 12 figures.
Nothing new at the other Target, Walmart at RI Mall, or Coventry Walmart. I went to TRU and got my price adjustment ($13.38 back). They have 2 Wolf Hounds and 1 Hiss Tank as of 10:30. It's so tempting to snag another Hiss, but I know we'll see a repaint and I'll snag that instead. |

You went to all those places BEFORE 11:00?!?!? Damn, I just woke up Thats what I figured would be the case at Target. They had to do the reset early but wouldnt have the POC stuff yet. Only 3 pegs for singles? Damn, thats not a good sign.
Awesome report as always though, much appreciated. Glad you got that $$$ back as well. |

Yea, I was up early. It's hard to sleep late when it warm/hot and I don't really like to leave the AC on overnight unless I really have to. I got a newspaper and some things at Walmart, too.
